The Three Inspired Verses
Yadā have pātubhavanti dhammā,
Ātāpino jhāyato brāhmaṇassa,
Athassa kaṅkhā vapayanti sabbā,
Yato pajānāti sahetu-dhammaṁ.
As phenomena grow clear
to the Brāhman, ardent, in jhāna,
his doubts all vanish
when he discerns what has a cause.

Yato khayaṁ paccayānaṁ avedi.
As phenomena grow clear
to the Brāhman, ardent, in jhāna,
his doubts all vanish
when he penetrates the end of conditions.
Yadā have pātubhavanti dhammā,
Ātāpino jhāyato brāhmaṇassa,

to the Brāhman, ardent, in jhāna,
he stands, routing Māra’s army,
as the sun,
illumining the sky.
